i've got old cp67/cms cmd reference and user guide (actually a couple, one typeset and a couple that were offset printed from 1403 print master) that has the edit command description and all its subcommands ... this was still 2741/1052 and after i had added tty/ascii (aka all "line" edit). later cms edit got a fullscreen display mode ... but display was r/o and effectively still line-mode editing (although input mode allowed you to have the full screen for new input). in my pile of reference card (underneath the stack of green & yellow 360 & 370 cards), i found vm/system product: SP Editor command language reference summary, sx24-5122-0, 1st edition, july 1980 (aka xedit) also four yellow rex reference summary cards (before release as product), first edition, nov. 1980, rex resion 2.08 dark green exec 2, A computer language for word programmg (before release, ref. research report RC7268) vm/sp exec 2 language reference summary, sx24-5124-1 (june 82) one orange vmshare users guide, jan. 1980 (white) script/370 version 3 quick guide for users, gx20-1997, (green) script/370 quick guide for users references summary, gx20-1969 (yellow) reference summary, vnet commands (user and operator), gz20-2008, april 1977 (blue) summary of PRY requests, M.H.
